The Healing Power of Music with Michael Solomon
Michael Solomon is one of the first people I met in my music industry journey nearly 20 years ago! He is an established entrepreneur who truly embodies the value of giving back.
He has founded a number of organizations - for profit and non-profit alike - that all have a mission to make a difference through both music and technology.
In this episode I share a very personal story of being diagnosed with a sarcoma at the age of 26 (I was fine, in the end and even had my diagnosis downgraded!) and how that inspired me to do more with my music career and really prioritize making an impact. Michael played a pivotal role in helping me do that and gave me the opportunity to work for one of the amazing organizations he co-founded, Musicians On Call.
From working with artists such as John Mayer, Vanessa Carlton and so many more, to managing the top technologists who are changing our world on a daily basis, Michael always prioritized the personal development work and growth- because he knows that directly contributes to the impact he’s able to make.
